USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Enabling the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your network to be placed outside of the firewall� This may be necessary if the firewall is
causing problems with an application such as a game or video conferencing application� Use this feature on a temporary basis� The computer in the
DMZ is NOT protected from hacker attacks�
To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its IP address in
the IP field and select “Enable”� Click “Apply Changes” for the change
to take effect� If you are using multiple static WAN IP addresses, it is
possible to select which WAN IP address the DMZ host will be directed
to� Type in the WAN IP address you wish the DMZ host to direct to, enter
the last two digits of the IP address of the DMZ host computer, select
“Enable” and click “Apply Changes”�

Using Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static host name in any of the many domains DynDNS�org offers, allowing
your network computers to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet� DynDNS�org provides this service, for up to five host
names, free to the Internet community�
The Dynamic DNS
SM
service is ideal for a home website, file server, or to make it easy to access your home PC and stored files while you’re at work�
Using the service can ensure that your host name always points to your IP address, no matter how often your ISP changes it� When your IP address
changes, your friends and associates can always locate you by visiting yourname�dyndns�org instead!
To register free for your Dynamic DNS host name, please visit
http://www�dyndns�org�

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Blocking an ICMP Ping
Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential
victims on the Internet� By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a
response from the IP address, a hacker can determine that something
of interest might be there� The Router can be set up so it will not
respond to an ICMP ping from the outside� This heightens your Router’s
security level�
Utilities
The “Utilities” screen lets you manage different parameters of the Router
and perform certain administrative functions�
To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping”
(1)
and click
“Apply Changes”� The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping�
